Sources say dissident officials within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) created a secret digital forum dedicated to hatred. The “Forum of Hate” (FOH) allowed users to share offensive emails against the agency, and those within it that they apparently do not like.

Members of the FOH believe the upper level management of the VA only cares about getting their monetary bonuses. They also expressed their views on “excessive Affirmative Action hiring,” which they believe has degraded the workforce.

Some of the high-level VA employees within the FOH included:

Attorneys

Managers

Administrative law judges

Dozens of emails were reportedly sent among the members of the secret VA FOH group every day. The inflammatory emails were sent using their official government VA accounts. Then, according to reports, they also complained about having to work late.

The previously unreported emails occurred in 2015, according to a draft report prepared by the inspector general (IG). A copy was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group, but the employees’ names were redacted.

Posters on the FOH compared Board of Veterans Affairs (BVA) compared “leadership sexual organs to a food product,” and said “ni–ers just gotta nig,” according to the same report. They called an obese black female VA supervisor “G-POT”— G is a prefix used by status-obsessed rappers, and POT because they said she looked like a hippopotamus.

A year after the forum members were caught — and VA took credit for disciplining them — two ALJs have yet to be disciplined because their cases remain unresolved by the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), a VA official told TheDCNF. One of the attorneys involved with the FOH retired and another resigned.

“G-POT probably takes notes of who usually stays late before leaving at 3pm and then tips off some thug cousin that some prospective rape ‘n’ rob victims are to be had that evening,” wrote a poster.

“Want G-POT to work her whole tour? Staple gun some chicken wings to the walls of her office. Make them high up so she needs to work for them,” another responded.

They altered a picture of an employee receiving an award to say “certificate good for one big bag of weed and an eight ball of coke.”
